WOOD-SCRAPER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 759,227, dated May 10, 1904.

Application filed May 2,1903. Serial No. 155,287. (No model.)

To all who/12 it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN H. BANKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wood-Scrapers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wood-scrapers, the features of which will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of my invention is the construction of a device which shall be convenient to hold plates adapted for use as scrapers and. are readily attachable and detachable from the handle.

The object is attained by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan of the two scraping-plates. Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line X of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the guide-plate.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts throughout the several views.

The device comprises a handle A, two clamping-plates O D, and a guide F. The handle A is of wood and may be made of any form or length that may be desirable. The end enters the socket-piece B and is secured by a screw passed through transversely. The

socket-piece terminates in a flattened end and is held on the pivot 3 within the ears 5 of the clamping-plate C of the clamping-head. These ears are shown in part by dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2. The clamping-head comprises the plates O and D. The former is provided with a cavity in which the head of the socket-piece moves and on the extreme end of which is the lug 7, that arrests the movement of said head. To hold thehead in a fixed position, the thumbscrew Gr is used, the point of which enters one of the countersinks 4L in the flattened end of the socket-piece. The inner clamping-plate O is pivoted to the socket-piece, as described, and the outer clamping-plate is secured to the former by the thumb-screw E, engaging a threaded hole of the former. The triangular scraper-plate 1 is held between the clampingplates at the top, and the quadrangular plate 2 is held at the bottom. These steel plates may have any desirable form. The guide F is secured to the head by the thumb-screw and is provided with a lug 8, that enters the groove 6 of the outer jaw, which prevents its turning. The guide extends beyond the limit of the scraper-plates and serves to direct the scraper by the side surface of the article to be scraped. The head has a limited movement on its pivot, and the same may be set at any angle within this limit. The use is sufliciently apparent from the previous description.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is- In a scraping implement the combination of the handle, the socket-piece attached to said handle, the inner clamping-plate pivoted to said socketpiece, the outer clamping-plate bound to the former, the guide held in a groove of the outer clamping-plate and said clamping-plates adapted to hold the scraper-plates, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
